[R] CRAN versions of lme4/Matrix don't appear to work with R 2.1.1

[White, Charles E WRAIR-Wash DC]

I made a typographical error, since I am running R 2.2.1. I wouldn't
dream of asking Professor Bates to make things backwards compatible to
an old version. Since the packages are loading fine for you, I will
assume there was a download error with the packages I have, uninstall
them, and try again.

	  Did you try upgrading to R 2.2.1?  I just installed R 2.2.1
with the 
latest version of "lme4" and "Matrix", and they loaded fine for me.
....

	  Doug Bates has worked very hard to create this, and I for one
would 
not want to ask him to take the time to make it backward compatible for 
those who for whatever reason haven't yet upgraded to R 2.2.1, 
especially since for most of us it is fairly easy to upgrade.
